Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows pages, files or data to be requested from another domain outside the domain from which the resource originated. Web-browsers normally prevent Javascript to access data outside of the domain, unless that domain responds with a CORS header. If you are loading data dynamically using JQuery AJAX calls, you know what CORS is and headaches it causes.

The World Bank provides a lot of data through APIs. You can use that data directly in Quips and connect it to your app even though the World Bank does not provide any support for HTTPS or CORS. Quips takes care of that.
